Further details about the next four episodes in the series, including title and plot teasers, have also been confirmed.

'The Bells of Saint John' has been written by showrunner Steven Moffat and will be directed by Colm McCarthy (Ripper Street).

'The Rings of Akhaten' has been written by Neil Cross (Luther) and shows The Doctor taking Clara to the rings of far-away planet Akhaten for its Festival of Offerings. However, something evil is stirring in the pyramids.

The episode will be directed by Farren Blackburn, whose previous credits include Luther and The Fades.

Mark Gatiss's 'Cold War' airs next, as The Doctor and Clara travel to 1983 in order to tackle an alien on the loose inside a damaged Russian submarine. Douglas Mackinnon (Silent Witness) directs the first episode to feature the Ice Warriors since the 1970s.

'Hide' features the duo at the desolate Caliburn House - a haunted mansion on the moors - as they join forces with a professor and a psychic searching for the Witch of the Well.

Cross's second episode will be directed by Jamie Payne (Call the Midwife, The Hour).

Further details on the remaining four episodes in the series will follow at a later date, and a number of additional projects also being planned to celebrate the show's 50th anniversary later in 2013.
